“We’re wildly excited to see her patrolling the defence at the Gino Bozzi next year, as she should further strengthen an already-strong spine of this Fiorentina team.
“While it may feel like the end of a cycle with so many Viola players leaving, a signing like Quinn announces that the club is ready to keep competing at the top of league. Welcome Louise!”
Quinn, along with Arsenal’s Katie McCabe, were both nominated for the Republic of Ireland Player of the Year and it was the former Arsenal player who picked up the award.
“It’s just incredible,” the Wicklow native told FAI TV. “I’m really, really surprised to get that. I think we’ve had such an incredible year with such changes and the players coming up and stepping up to the plate, so to get the award is something truly special.”
“Just to wear the jersey is something that I love to do every time that we get to step onto that pitch. I’m extremely proud of it.
“Then there is the likes of Katie and Denise, I’m their biggest fan so for them not to win is a travesty as well. But I’m thrilled, even though it’s always a team effort.”
She also spoke about her move to Fiorentina, saying,”The team have been really, really welcoming, it’s such an open club and they have big aspirations.
“They were the first club to try and go professional in Italy, knowing that they have those goals, it was spot on for me to come here then.”
